fools rush in
Bought more books today. They're like african babies, I swear. One especially precious one is a yellowing old (1926, New York) collection of famous trials throughout history. Whenever I get within a five-foot radius it speaks to me - 'Hold meeeee, touch meeeeee, talk about me on your bloooooog!'
Even though no one reads this thing, I'm going to rattle off questions and pretend that they will get answered.
1. If you write, is it difficult for you?
2. Do you practice?
3. Do you believe you have a natural talent?
4. Where does inspiration come from?
5. When do you like to write the most?
6. Do you have problems with procrastination?
7. Do you tend to plan what you write before you start or just go head first? (If you do go head first, what influences those first few sentences the most - your surroundings, things you've read by others or crazy streams of thoughts and ideas?)
8. Is there such a thing as progress?
9. Do you like what you write?
10. Does writing affect you emotionally?
11. How do you go about editing?
12. Have you ever taken a class and did it help you/influence you at all?
13. Do you ever borrow?
14. Do you know a cure for writer's block?
15. Are you ever afraid of writing?
16. Does writing play evil little games with your self-esteem?
17. Have you ever felt really proud of a piece you've written and do you continue to be proud about it?
18. Has someone/something in particular influenced your writing or your outlook on writing in general?
19. Do you display what you write, read it only to close friends or keep it secret?
20. Do you ever feel inadequate and, if you do, why and how so?
21. For you, what makes the difference between a piece you're satisfied with and a piece you're not?
22. Do you look for help, accept help or find it hard to ask for help?
23. When is writing its most difficult?
24. Is there any part of the process you loathe in particular?
25. Do you count on the approval or acceptance of others?
26. Do you consider writing a large part of your life?
27. Are you pursuing a career in writing?
28. How would you describe your writing style?
That's all I can think of for now. I think you could detect a bit of projection in there, huh? :(
